Jamie,
I have hosted a number of Reptile Events here in the last several years. True most are educational or scientific in nature but they are a great way to network. I am easily accessible by email via our website if you are ever in the area.

Reptile swaps and meets are hard to do here since we have such a low population. But our collection brings in the top scientists from around the world...what more could someone ask for.

Unfortunately, I don't always have full control over who attends some of the kids fairs and local shows we do. Sometimes its our horticulture department showing the snakes. They don't often keep the facts I give them straight. Sorry about that, I wish I had more control over that...

The largest Bullsnake on record to my knowledge is 101 inches but that was not found in South Dakota.

Cheers!
